Sorry for your loss Todd.

R.I.P. Tina You gave us a hell of a catalog of fantastic music.

Hope you have a great day. Go for a bike ride. Go to a museum. Go see a concert. But for God's sake stay away from biscuits!!!

I just assumed it was common knowledge that Grizzlies prefer cocaine, while Black bears are heavy into meth. Polar bears like to chill, so heroin is more their bag. Oh, and Pandas smoke opium of course.

Have an exceptional day!

Too many TICE jokes in there to choose just one.

Happy Birthday!

They didn't have enough creativity to come up with their own cover art? Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother.

Probably on the night my Dad lost all of his money!

My Father moved to Vegas in 1980, and I joined him there after being accepted to UNLV. I spent my Junior and Senior years there in '81 and '82. I've told stories about waiting on Sinatra at the restaurant I worked at. Biggest asshole I've ever met. And I've been acquainted with a lot of assholes. Anyway, my Father was making a living playing poker. Mostly playing with retired old men at Circus Circus. But there were a few times that he played with the big boys. He played with Doyle a dozen times or so. I'll never forget one particular time when he shut my Dad down and took him for all he had put aside for that night (my Dad never played for more than he could afford to lose). I had the car that evening and took my little Sister to go pick him up. This particular night was at the Flamingo, and Brunson decided to treat my little Sister, myself and my Dad to banana splits at Lindy's (an ice cream parlor in the hotel). He had one too, and was just a really nice guy. My Sister was 12, and he treated her like a little Queen. R.I.P. Mr. Brunson. You were a class act Sir!

No room in the van for a router table. And $130 blade for a railing cap is overkill. This isn't something I need to do often at all. These 3 blades were $8 ea. Probably a very nice blade for the shop though.

Trailer park hack. The small DeWalt jobsite tablesaws will not accept a dado stack, because the spindle is too short. But it will accept three thin curf blades of the same tooth number. Not as good as a 3/4" dado stack, but far superior to a 1/16" pass. This about 1/4".

That is a really nice slab of Birdseye Maple!

Scramble with hashbrowns, at Hilda's.

It's no surprise that they were Sweden's largest export for a few years running. That's back when Vovlo and Saab were hugely popular. Hearing ABBA always takes me back to high school days.

I know that the Blum undermount slides are the hip thing these days. They do make a quality product, and there are certainly situations where they are preferable. But looking at the design of your current build, I'd think that side mounted KV drawer guides would work perfectly well. With the added bonus of being cheaper and much easier to install. That's just my two cents.

Took a few pics today, to better understand the project. The extra space in the dado underneath is where the LED light strips will be mounted. This is one of three decks receiving the same treatment.

My table saw will not accept a set of dado blades, so these were milled one saw blade width at a time. I had about 80 linear feet of lumber to mill this way. Then cleaned up with a chisel. I'll take photos after installing them tomorrow.

Actually this was yesterday. One of the bosses is remodeling his bathroom as a surprise, while his wife is in Ireland with the kids. He hated his vanity, and just wanted some simple shelves, which I milled and glued up from rough cut Redwood. Not shown is the second shelf which sits on the concrete slab, and buts against the existing floor tile, which is staying. This will receive 3 coats of a Marine spar varnish. Today's project is outdoor railing caps for three decks on a project that's just about done. These will set atop 2" wide metal railings. The grooves I milled to 2 3/4" wide, to also accommodate LED light strips that will shine down on the deck.

So, you haven't been here long enough to meet Brent?

He never wrote a sub standard song that I'm aware of.

Works like a charm! And I really like the way this 90 degree square guide tightens into the groove of the track, instead of clamping onto it.

I doubt her kids have a chance of becoming honest, compassionate people, but as hard as it would be for me to be nice, you did the right thing.
